Whether you work in an office, a factory, a warehouse or on a farm, there is the potential for accidents at work to happen. But what happens if you’re injured in an accident at work that wasn’t your fault? This can happen to anybody if a colleague or employer is negligent when it comes to health and safety, and if you have been the victim of somebody else’s negligence then you can find out more about making a personal injury claim by getting in touch with specialist personal injury solicitors.

That’s where Accident Advice Helpline can help. Our personal injury lawyers have been in the industry for over 15 years, and we have helped hundreds of people to claim compensation for workplace accidents.

How could you be injured in an accident at work that wasn’t your fault?

The types of injuries you could sustain will depend on the industry you work in and how your accident happened. For example, you could suffer serious crush injuries to your arm if it’s trapped in heavy machinery at a factory, or sprain your ankle if you slip on a wet floor in the school cafeteria whilst working as a teacher. In both these examples, you could be eligible to claim personal injury compensation, even though one injury is obviously more serious than the other.

If you’re injured in an accident at work that wasn’t your fault then you are entitled to make a claim for compensation, regardless of your injuries. Accident Advice Helpline’s lawyers work on a no win no fee basis, so anybody can afford to make a claim.

We have helped hundreds of employees claim compensation after their employer’s negligence caused an accident at work, so there’s no need to feel hesitant about contacting us.
